Hi!  
I am trying to use time picker, but it gives me almost random values from 1970 -1972.  
When I use other time nodes such as simpletime or moments, it gives me right values. Even when I use dashboard calendar, it shoves me the right year. Did anybody encountered something similar? I couldn't find anything like this on internet

```auto
{"payload":83700000,"socketid":"LGC04GnEIyUBj7gJAAAA","_msgid":"6d5d08e.a325ff8"}

```

this is what I've got after choosing 11:15 PM, 11.7.2020, which should be 1594498500000

First of all. Thanks for the answer.  
It is text input set as time picker.  
I found my problem. I didn't read the description properly. Output of this node gives milliseconds from midnight, not full epochtime. I couldn't figure that out.
